I use a wind meter and charts to help me adjust for normal wind conditions but yesterday I was faced with a situation that I was unsure of how to deal with. I was preparing for a 400 yard shot with a 10 mph wind from 9.00 o'clock (full value) but after 200 yards a large wood acted as a screen and judging by the leaves and grass there was no wind for the remaining distance to the target.
Should I have calculated the wind for only the first 200 yards or is there a formula for this type of situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My setup is a 26" heavy barrel Steyr .308 155g Amax which would have given 12.6" of drift under normal conditions.
